Description

Formation configuration reconstruction optimization method adopting finite element method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of satellite formation flight, in particular to formation configuration reconstruction optimization by adopting a finite element method.
Background
As a multi-satellite system, the formation of the spacecraft greatly expands the limitation of a single spacecraft in completing tasks, not only can the task function of the single spacecraft in the formation be realized, but also the whole formation can replace the single large spacecraft to realize more complex tasks. Under certain conditions, even if one or two spacecrafts are lost in the formation, other spacecrafts can cooperate to complete the task of losing the spacecrafts, so that the overall reliability of the formation system is greatly improved, and the formation system has a very high practical application value. Because the fuel carried by the satellites in the formation is limited and can not be supplied, the research on different reconstruction strategies for formation flight has very important significance.
In order to successfully achieve formation flight mission, spacecraft formation orbit design before and during mission is particularly important, thus posing problems associated with formation configuration. The formation organization mainly comprises three main contents:
building a configuration, namely building mutually independent spacecraft groups into a configuration required by a task;
configuration keeping, namely, each spacecraft in the formation can still keep a stable relative position under the influence of factors such as orbit perturbation and the like through a control method, and the configuration required by a task is maintained;
and (2) configuration reconfiguration, namely, for the reconfiguration of the positions of the flying spacecrafts in formation, the orbit of one or more spacecrafts in the formation of the spacecrafts is adjusted according to the requirements of different tasks, so that the formation positions of the spacecrafts or the relative positions of the spacecrafts in the formation are changed, and the conversion between different configurations of the formation is realized.
Finite element method (abbreviated as finite element method) is a structural analysis numerical method that divides a structural grid into computational models. Through popularization and development, the method becomes an approximate method for solving a mathematical physical equation. The finite element method is actually based on the mathematical variation principle, the node configuration is relatively arbitrary, the calculation format is more complex than that of the finite difference method, and the required computer memory amount is also relatively large. The finite element method is commonly used in aircraft structural analysis, and is a conventional analysis method, no matter static strength analysis, dynamic strength analysis, fatigue and fracture or thermal strength analysis. In recent years, as research becomes deeper and deeper, the application of the finite element method in other fields is also more and more extensive.
Compared with the traditional spacecraft orbit maintenance, the orbit control of high-precision formation flight has higher requirements on control precision and certain limits on control frequency. Therefore, the continuous low-thrust orbit control enters the visual field of the astronaut, and the maintenance and reconstruction of the spacecraft orbit based on the continuous low-thrust control become popular research contents of a plurality of learners. As a common key technology in the deep space exploration task, the low-thrust technology has the characteristics of mature technical development, high control precision and intuition. The application of the continuous low-thrust method is wider due to the wider and wider application range of the novel electric propeller and the electromagnetic force and the electrostatic force.
In addition, in the reconstruction of the satellite formation, the total fuel consumption, the fuel consumption balance or some weighted relation of the two is generally used as the optimization index of the formation reconstruction.

According to a numerical iteration method, the optimal track control quantity and the corresponding reconstructed track in each time subinterval are determined, and iterative correction is performed on the track control quantity and the reconstructed track according to the fuel optimal criterion, the control opportunity and the collision condition, so that the reconstruction configuration is completed quickly, the overall reliability of the formation system is improved, and the fuel consumption is reduced.

however, equation (10) does not hold for the first and last nodes. The reason is that the first and last nodes are located at the boundary of the entire formation reconstruction process, and only one calculation is performed. For this purpose, the initial and final velocities located in the first and last elements need to be corrected: in the first element, the initial velocity v of the formation slave stars0Is modified into

In the invention, the node value x of the state variable x (τ) of the spacecraft varies with timek,xk+1Used to determine the reconstruction trajectory and the control quantities, are considered as optimized quantities in the reconstruction problem. The invention integrates elements of a reconstruction time interval by a finite element method to obtain a system set with 6M dimensions of a linear equation set in the form of formula (11):

finding the control U provided by the low-thrust engine applied to the slave stars during the reconstruction of the formation configurationi(i-1, 2, …, N is the total number of spacecraft in the formation) is the main goal of reconstruction optimization, achieving minimum fuel consumption under the constraint of collision avoidance. The sum of the squared magnitudes of the control acceleration vectors is selected as a performance indicator, which essentially corresponds to the lowest fuel delivery quantity C:

m is the number of elements for decomposing the reconstruction time interval from the initial orbit configuration to the target orbit configuration of the satellite;
Δui,kis the total acceleration load provided by the low thrust engine on the kth time node of the ith spacecraft.
In addition, in the process of formation and reconstruction, the safety of the spacecraft should be ensured, so the distance for keeping the safety of the spacecraft is taken as a constraint condition. In order to avoid collisions between the spacecraft, an exclusion sphere centered on the spacecraft is defined and it is mandatory that these spheres do not intersect, and that at most one point of coincidence between two spheres is accepted in the reconstruction time. As shown in FIG. 2, the safe distance is denoted as R, assuming that the safe distance around each spacecraft is half the radius
Figure BDA0002127193800000122
During the reconstruction process, in addition to one tangent point, a plurality of spacecraft (such as spacecraft 1, spacecraft 2, spacecraft 3 in fig. 2) should ensure thatAre not intersected.
Thus, the reconstruction problem is transformed into an optimization problem by the finite element method. The method of the invention starts with the optimal trajectory of each spacecraft, without considering the collision risk. By ignoring the constraints of avoiding collisions, an initial optimal solution for the lowest fuel delivery quantity C is found. After that, the calculated optimal solution is used as the initial value of the track reconstruction optimization problem to find the final solution of the lowest fuel transfer quantity C and consider avoiding collision.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 3, the formation of satellites consists of one master star and five slave stars (i.e., slave star 1, slave star 2, slave star 3, slave star 4, slave star 5). The reference orbit of the dominant star is given by the orbit elements: the semi-major axis of the track is 29948.478 km, the eccentricity is 0.001, the inclination angle of the track is 63.31 degrees, the ascension at the ascending crossing point is 243.00 degrees, the breadth angle at the perigee is 214 degrees, and the mean perigee angle is 180 degrees. Suppose that the five slave stars in the formation are initially distributed along the orbital direction, centred on the master star, 50m apart. The five slave star initial states are as follows:

The simulation results are shown in fig. 3, and fig. 4 shows the fuel consumption of each slave star, taking into account the number of 15 elements. The simulation result verifies the effectiveness of the finite element method in the reconstruction problem, and the finite element method does not need too much calculation time, so that the method can realize the reconstruction path planning from the initial track configuration to the target track configuration, and the position coordinates of the reconstruction path do not have large-scale deviation with the initial track target track. This indicates that the slave star and the master star do not generate a large relative distance in the reconstruction process, and can still be maintained within the formation range, and the CW equation is still established.
